Celebrating Baja culture

Mingei partners with Tijuana Cultural Center to showcase culture and cuisine south of the border

In keeping with their tradition of presenting opportunities to experience the museum in unique ways and their ongoing commitment to meaningful binational ties, Mingei International Museum is partnering with the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) for a celebration of the culture and cuisine of Tijuana and the Guadalupe Valley.

Baja Med chef Julián Plascencia (brother of Misíon 19’s chef Javier) will prepare and serve the world-famous Caesar salad — invented in Tijuana by Italian restaurateur Caesar Cardini — as well as other tastes of Baja.

Adult guests can sample a variety of wines and libations native to the Baja California region, and check out Southern California’s largest and richest collection of Mingei — art of the people — as Tijuanense jazz pianist Roberto Salomon provides musical entertainment.
